This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Mountains wouldn't part for me
They have no uncertainty
I'm just a passing emotion
Just hoping they take notice
And you are an opportunity
Without an opportunity
Another passing emotion
And hope that someone will take notice
And did I hear you sing
That we exist without existing
Or did I hear you sing
That we'll land where we begin
I understand it but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe we will be there
I understand it but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe one day we will be there
I thought I heard you say
That I must be disappearing
But I'm sure I heard you sing
We won't begin
You have no sense in emptiness
Will you try a little harder
You have no sense in emptiness
Will you try, try, try a little harder
They have no uncertainty
I'm just a passing emotion
Just hoping they take notice
And you are an opportunity
Without an opportunity
Another passing emotion
And hope that someone will take notice
And did I hear you sing
That we exist without existing
Or did I hear you sing
That we'll land where we begin
I understand it but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe we will be there
I understand it but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe one day we will be there
I thought I heard you say
That I must be disappearing
But I'm sure I heard you sing
We won't begin
You have no sense in emptiness
Will you try a little harder
You have no sense in emptiness
Will you try, try, try a little harder

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
"I understand it but I don't show it" This is the line I identify most with right now.
This song is full of the reasoning common to Zen/Buddhist thinking: "We exist without existing" and "I understand it but I don't show it / so I won't think it"
There's a call to be vigilant at the end that is very striking: "you have no sense in emptiness / will you try a little harder" Coupled with the swelling of the music, this seems to be the real point of the song... to "be there" or Be Here Now, as Ram Dass would say.
I love this song!
sounds a bit like a "in love with a friend and he doesn't love me back" situation. or maybe that's just because i'm in one at the moment. it does make sense though: "And you are an opportunity / without an opportunity" & "maybe one day we will be there" etc etc.
